    Before watching I assumed it was going to be another person about the dire issue of racism or health care in Africa. However, she completely captured my attention within the first few minutes. I was intrigued by the way children literature influenced the way she wrote, but also the way she saw other ethnicities. This later turned into how she saw others perceiving Africa. Her solution was to challenge people to not buy into the single story. She firmly believes that if people were to know all the stories of a certain place they wouldn’t treat them any differently than they would their…

    The line sounded rehearsed, as if he had spoken these words multiple times a day for many years. His glossy brown eyes penetrated my startled blue ones for as long as I let them until I turned away. His dirtied innocent face was one that came straight out of a UNICEF commercial, the sort that caught you off guard during a commercial break of your favorite TV show. Wistful faces of impoverished children flick before your eyes as a concerned voice insists that if you donate your unused pocket change every month, you could support the life of this poor boy.…

    In December of 2006, Katie travels to Uganda for the first time. The love and compassion she felt for this impoverished African-American society was instantaneous. After her mission trip in the winter of 2006, Katie could not wait any longer as she had become more and more anxious to be back where she proclaimed “Home”. Following her first trip to Uganda, Katie returned as a Kindergarten teacher where she taught classrooms full of poverty-stricken kids. After observing these innocent children’s daily lives, she soon realized that something needed to change for them; God laid it on Katie’s heart to start a child sponsorship program. Later that year, she established a non-profit organization called Amazima Ministries International. The native Luganda word “Amazima” means “truth”, a word Katie took from her favorite Bible verse John 8:32 “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Not only did Katie become a founder of her own organization in 2008, she also became a mother of 3 which later became a prodigious number of 13.…

    She believed that by helping people gain knowledge it would result in better lives. She was a well know social worker who impacted many people’s lives. Reading about her life encourages me to work hard in college, because she believed in the importance of education. I admire how she has a heart for helping people and that is the reason I want to become a social worker, to be able to help as many people as possible. She saw that there was a need for education in the poor communities in Chicago and she went out and did something about the problem. As social workers, when we see there is a need in our community to go out and create a way to help fix the problem the best way we…

    Oprah Winfrey was born on a small farm in Kosciusko, Mississippi on January 29th, 1954, and life was immediately rough for her. Her grandmother raised her for the first six years of her life, while her teenage mother was looking for work up north. Whilst living with her grandma, it was very primitive and poverty was a normality. She would often wear clothes made of potato sacks and garbage bags, having kids in the neighborhood laugh at her constantly. Her only friends at the time were the animals on the farm, but that didn’t stop her, as she would dress them up and have tea parties with them. Albeit she didn’t have an ideal upbringing, she was able to get by with her grandmother by her side. Oprah was taught how to read very early and by the time she was three years old, she was already singing bible verses in church.…
